Overview
What Solar Inbound Calls is
Solar Inbound Calls are consumers who see an offer and dial in themselves, generated by Altarious Global performance campaigns and delivered to your business in real time. Reach homeowners evaluating rooftop solar and battery storage and connect them with installers and dealers ready to schedule a consultation.
Solar is complex enough that many homeowners prefer to ask questions before they book a site visit. Inbound Call programs place solar offers in front of homeowners researching panels, incentives and battery storage and invite them to call an installer directly. Callers arrive with genuine curiosity and usually with their utility bill in mind, giving consultants the chance to explain savings, financing and the installation process and to schedule an in-home or virtual consultation. This channel is well suited to installers with knowledgeable phone teams and a consultative sales approach.
This product is suited to home services businesses with a team ready to answer during defined hours, a clear view of the consumer they want, and the capacity to convert a live conversation. The acquisition objective is simple: put your team in front of solar consumers at the moment they are deciding.
Target consumer
Owners of single-family homes with suitable roofs and meaningful monthly electricity bills, typically in states with strong sun exposure, high utility rates or favourable incentive programs. The most valuable segments are homeowners with high bills and good credit, households considering an electric vehicle or heat pump, and residents of outage-prone areas interested in battery backup.
Consumer intent
Typical intent signals include: searching for solar panel cost, solar companies near me or solar tax credit; electricity bill has increased noticeably in recent months; researching home battery backup after power outages; neighbours or friends recently installed solar.
How inbound calls are generated
Calls are generated through call-only and click-to-call performance campaigns targeting searches such as "solar panels for home cost" and "solar companies near me", alongside social and comparison placements. Every source is tracked, so call quality can be traced back to the campaign that produced it.
Qualification approach
Qualification is configured to your appetite. Standard solar criteria include: owns a single-family home in a state and utility territory the installer serves; roof is owned outright and in suitable condition, not a shared or hoa-restricted roof where prohibited; monthly electricity bill meets the installer's minimum threshold; credit profile expected to qualify for financing, or ability to purchase outright; roof has limited shading and adequate usable area; willing to schedule a consultation or site assessment.
Delivery process
Calls are routed to your sales line in real time by state or ZIP, schedule and agent availability, with concurrency limits and daily caps set to your capacity. Call tracking and recording are available for quality control.

Knowledge
Frequently asked
Yes. Screening captures the homeowner's approximate monthly electricity bill and their expectation of credit qualification, with thresholds set to your financing partners' requirements.
Targeting can be set by state, county, ZIP code and utility territory so that transfers come from areas where your net metering and incentive assumptions apply.
Product interest is captured during screening, and battery-focused homeowners can be routed to consultants who specialise in storage or excluded if you only install panels.
Most programs are scoped in a single call and live within five business days. The work in between is agreeing qualification criteria, confirming geography and testing delivery into your phone system or CRM.
Yes. Daily and hourly caps are set to your capacity and can be changed at any time. Programs can also be paused entirely without losing your campaign history.
Delivery runs only during the hours your team is available to answer, in your time zone, and follows your holiday schedule. Nothing is routed to a desk that is closed.
Every call is tracked to its source with duration and outcome recorded. Calls that fall below the agreed billable duration or fail qualification are reviewed, and there is a defined dispute window.
Yes. Web leads post in real time to your CRM, dialer or lead management platform, and calls can carry the same metadata so a record exists before your agent picks up.
